        Its my first time with an ESR Case (this one specifically https://a.co/d/5Mrkayt) and the magnets and wireless charging work very well. My only downside is (and it may be in my head) is that after a month its starting to get a smidge of yellowing. Although in fairness I usually only see a completely clear case on the first day, and in any event a colored case shouldn’t suffer that (I imagine). Also I got mine for $9 a week before the 16 came out, but seems to be $12 now.

    Me and one of any family members both have an ESR case with one of those pop-out camera edges that acts as a stand. It’s excellent. I use it with my car magsafe charger, and it genuinely requires some effort to take off lol

      They look nice but are definitely very overpriced in my opinion. I can’t think of a single useful thing casetify does/has that a case 1/4 the cost doesn’t also do/have.

      They also have great customer support. I bought one of their cases for the iPhone 15 but it didn’t fit. They said it was a known issue and sent me a different case while they sorted it out. And they eventually sent me a working case.

      Magsafe has magnets in the phone, the dock, AND the case for a firm connection.

      Here’s a pic of my Apple silicone case with no phone inside of it. It’s magnetic.

        It’s a conduction ring, too, so that the charge gets from the charger to the phone.

        But people who don’t know should be made aware of this that iPhone cases now also contain magnets.

          I thought that coil was the NFC coil so that the phone could identify the case and accessories. It’s only a few threads, which would be small for an induction coil.

            Oh, I see. No, apparently, Apple guards its NFC protocols extremely closely. Only recently have they been (forced to be) more open about how it all works— and to allow third-party access.
